. that means we may have to take a deal that gets us on the right path even if it does not give us the right structure. we will have the opportunity to get on the right structure and we will have the money to deal with it. it means we have to deal with the deficit before we are ever going to resolve all of the issues in health care and tax reform. i want to be sure that people do not have the sense that if we do not solve the entire 70 five- year, 150 year deficit issue, that anything short of that is a failure. there is no public-policy issue we have solved 75 years into the future. it is a result of inflated expectations and rhetoric to expect we will solve this problem 75 years out, or 100 years out in the future. my message is, let's not the perfect be the enemy of the good. if we can get onto a good path, let's take it and work from there to a better structure. >> i agree with that but let me be more optimistic about tax reform. this may be a moment where we dropped the impediment of incrementalism in tax reform which is fatal because then you are arguing about whose ox gets gored. this

[applause] this is a man, this is a president who has the character of his convictions. almost never since he has taken office, during this entire time, has the republican congress reached across the aisle to help. on the recovery act, which kept us from sliding further into depression, only three republican senators and not one house member voted for it. on the affordable care act, no republican in the senate and none in the house on the final vote. but it was not just on the big- signature issues, it was on the easy, obvious things where we got no cooperation. extending the payroll tax, only seven republicans initially voted for it. lilly ledbetter equal pay, three republicans voted for it in the house. when we attempted to raise the debt limit to maintain the

that the best thing we could do to stimulate the economy including any actions that that might take is for us to have real fiscal, real balanced fiscal reform? is that not the thing that would cause our economy to take off more than anything else and alleviate the uncertainty that people have that the investing community? >> fiscal reform is very important not only the control of deficits over the long period, but also the quality of fiscal policy. what are we spending our money on? what does the tax code look like? but i think the way the current law is written we have the maximum impact right in the very short run on january 1, 2013, and much less happening over the next decade or the next two decades. so i'm not advocating an overall increase in fiscal spending or anything like that. i'm just saying that the timing should be adjusted to allow the recovery a little bit more space to continue. but to make a serious effort to improve our fiscal policy over the next decade. >> i agree that we should have a better policy than we now have and i think most of the people on this dais are trying to
